Dear Drosophilist, if you haven’t done so, please support our vital resource and knowledgebase! It takes a lot of people and funding to produce, maintain, update, improve a resource like this, and our key source of funding has been terminated due to politics. Check our wiki page!

Some of us at FlyBase found the contribution page a bit complex, so we've made a video walk-through of the IU donation site. Please note, after you've chosen to donate 'in memory or honor' of someone, the tribute section has boxes for first and last names. Enter FlyBase in both.

Flybase, the repository that houses genetic and molecular data on the model organism Drosophila is at risk. The loss of FlyBase would have a significant and detrimental impact on the scientific community. @FlyBaseDotOrg

#Drosophila community in the US and non- EU countries, please donate to help us support #Flybase. People behind the scenes have put in incredible effort over the past few months - as someone who has seen some of it first hand at #IUBloomington, they deserve all the praise.

We cannot provide invoices at present but are working on a system to do so in the near future. However, you will receive a receipt for your tax-deductible donation. Large teams of people work to keep FlyBase going, and the need is great, so please donate generously.
